Suppose there is a set of numbers: \(\{1,2,3,4,5\}\). I pick from the set of numbers 3 times. Each pick is independent. So there is replacement. Then, what is the probability of me getting a 1, a 3 and a 5?
And, what is the probability of getting a 2, two 4s?

if the order matter than myko's answer is correct.
If the order does not matter then you are correct.
whether the order matters or not depends on what the problem is asking for.
to me, it sounds like the order does not matter...though the problem could have been written better
